*************************
The Longmont Library invites patrons of all ages to delve into their spooky side to create a “preserved” specimen jar this fall!

Your specimen can be any creepy creation, be it a critter from something you have read or are currently reading, or something straight out of your imagination.

Jars, along with completed entry forms (available on the Library website here), can be delivered to the library until Friday, Oct. 27 before the library closes at 5 p.m.

Contest participants can drop off their completed jars and entry form to the Reference Desk, located on the second floor.

The jars will be displayed in the library lobby from Saturday, Oct. 28 through Tuesday, Oct. 31, for members of the public to view all the creepy creations.

On Wednesday, Nov. 1, winners in four categories will be announced:

  • Best Adult Thing in a Jar (ages 14 and older)
  • Best Tween Thing in a Jar (ages 9 to 13)
  • Best Kid Thing in a Jar (age 8 and younger)

Complete rules and entry forms can be found on the Library’s website at this link. Contestants can work as individuals or teams. Join the fun at the library this fall – make a Thing in a Jar or visit the Library to enjoy them!
